I've done pretty much no wedding planning stuff yet, cos I'm responsible like that. We're starting to look at venues so things are moving forward but yeah. For the most part the little details of wedding planning I'm very "meh" on. I'm also kinda "eh" on the big picture stuff. BUT I did think of something that I'd like to do. But I need your help.
It may not be a full on bookish wedding*, but of course I would like some bookish elements. My friend had book centerpieces which were great and I'm not saying I'm NOT going to steal that idea. Just that I'd like to add something else to it. Also at one point during the evening a drink got knocked over. DON'T WORRY, I saved the books, but it was close. But will other people be that quick if something like that were to happen at my wedding??
I saw a thing on Pinterest (? yeah probably there) where instead of normal table numbers, you use literary couples.

*My idea to get married in a bookstore was veto-ed even though it's an amazing idea, although they probably have a point because I'd inevitably get distracted. I'll be sitting on the ground reading something while people tell me I'm supposed to cut the cake or whatever other wedding things you're supposed to do.
